[small meteor]

yeah i doubt it

for sure. Perhaps a 24hr marathon :p

[pliant oak]

maybe thats for the future

jc2 in testing mp could get about 8000 people on lol

[small meteor]

im sure there would be someone handy enough to increase server capcity

but i doubt the game would like it very much

[pliant oak]

yeah that was a slide show

[full cave]

I get that Maxine. But it doeant work that way. I dont have the current update. On SRP and hunting mule deer it can be 9:58 and a herd of deer are making their way to the zones and stop and turn around and leave before they even get to the zone. Sometimes they actually make it there by a minute and leave instantly. So its not about knowing the mechanic. Its about there seems to be an issue with animals using their zones. Yes some people who have the update are experiencing what all you guys are saying but also experiencing what I'm describing as well. Which explaims why so many with this last update arent seeing WT in zones where they know theres WT. So combining that with how hard theyve made WT now makes the GO even rarer. Esp if zones are being missed because the animals arent using their zones properly.

So yes the animals can show up to zones at varying times but being its happening on other maps shows theres some kind of bug or issue thats popped up after the SRP installment. It was never this bad before that. So that def impacts finding the GO without a doubt 🤷

[vague temple]

Agreed. I actually tracked several herds of deer going to zones and they walked in repetitive long paths to get there so they never actually arrived in time

[late trail]

huh

[pliant oak]

he is talking about pathfinding

the route the animals use to go somewhere

so because the route they took was long or hard to get to they took a long route to get to the zone but never was at the need zone at the right time

some deer seem to be going at different times

i had a weird one yesterday one zone has 15 whitetail

yet when i visited there was only 4 of the group there

why i dont know

[pliant oak]

just bagged a level 3 didnt make diamond at balmont lake. what was interesting as i carried on hunting past what id normally do upto 3 pm i carried on to about 5 and there was a lot of whitetail there though

[fallow owl]

I assume they were feeding? It almost seems like the locations are swapped sometimes. I have a few places where feed zones are just right on the water, and drink zones are a bit far off

[floral pivot]

I have had that too with my zones

[pliant oak]

yeah im thinking feeding and resting maybe has been tweaked. dunno will carry on smashing whitetail see what i can find. been interesting whats happening

currently whitetail often dont make the drink times at some points or only turn up late

so other need zones maybe better

remember to mention me when you include that lol

i may actually ignore drink zones and focus on the other need zones

different times

[solar pumice]

Did they fix great ones?

[spiral temple]

i dont think so but i thought there was something about the great one in patch notes

[magic phoenix]

They fixed the weight issue

[spiral temple]

ah ya thats what it was

[magic phoenix]

Noice

[vague temple]

Enters clearing and sees wide deer

[mortal prairie]

Did you shoot him?

[small meteor]

Congrats looks great

Shot it today?

[broken dagger]

Yea just shot him like 1hr ago

[magic phoenix]

Wait its the smaller cactus rack

[small meteor]

ive not seen that rack posted before i dont think

its not the same rack as the one that flinter got right?

[magic phoenix]

It isnt

[small meteor]

looks great

[magic phoenix]

Flinters is the one that has the shitload of drop tines

Its basically flinters but without the drop tines

[neon cedar]

That one looks WAYYY more thicker than any rack I've seen

[magic phoenix]

Thiccer

[neon cedar]

It's like you increased the circumference of a 280 rack by x10

@broken dagger Got the harvest screen?

Both tabs?

[tribal pawn]

That's promising

Another rack that hasnt been spawning appears

[neon cedar]

I just wanna see both tabs of the harvest screen

[tribal pawn]

Wait nvm

They hack

[small meteor]

you sure?

[tribal pawn]

100%

[cerulean iron]

You can’t just say they hack with no evidence lmao.

[tribal pawn]

I do have evidence

[magic phoenix]

Im pretty sure i saw something on reddit someone on xbox getting a great one post update

And it was the last rack that was spawning

[tribal pawn]

Anyone can see it by simply searching the guys name

[cerulean iron]

Well here’s an idea...say the evidence before just saying he’s hacking🤦‍♂️

[tribal pawn]

What difference does that make

[magic phoenix]

Not much really

[tribal pawn]

^ fr

[small meteor]

he has posted 5 super rares which is kinda sus

[neon cedar]

Still waiting on that harvest screen.

[magic phoenix]

What bout harvest history

[neon cedar]

That too

[magic phoenix]

Kinda wish brown was rare for capes so i could have a super rare

[pale oracle]

Good way to know it to show his harvest screen and see if the weight and other stats are weird

[small meteor]

99% sure its cheated

[magic phoenix]

100% sure its cheated

[neon cedar]

The world will never know

[small meteor]

oh well the hype was there for a few mins

[full cave]

[small meteor]

AotA is this servers built in anti-cheat.

[tribal pawn]

lmao

[magic phoenix]

And flinters server

[rigid forge]

not an exaggeration by any stretch of the imagination

[somber blade]

what the fuck is that though @dreamy arrow

[tribal pawn]

jackalope

[twin cedar]

Is that great one a real shape

[twin cedar]

That doesn't answer my question I'm asking if it's a shape that can spawn normally

[sterile plover]

it seems my white tails just ‘disappeared’, I checked all my tents and only spotted one.😆

[twin cedar]

Try cycling through like 6 time changes

[ripe parrot]

Wow 😯 cool rack on that Ew finally listening

[magic phoenix]

That rack is hacked as of right now

[wise crane]

Weird rack.

Any overweight recently?

[magic phoenix]

No, ive only been on nz

[remote carbon]

Just killed this on xbox

[mortal prairie]

Lemme see your kill history

Noice

[solar pumice]

Holy shit, ive never seen that one before

[frail tangle]

That’s a cool ass great one, never seen that rack ever

[solar pumice]

That looks like an actual whitetail

Like an actual Boone and Crocket buck

[frail tangle]

I know, rare for COTW 😑 most they can’t get right

I have to give it to them it looks really good

[solar pumice]

I know what Im hunting all weekend lol

[dawn tide]

Is that really or fact

[remote carbon]

I just killed it on xbox biggest thing I've seen in a long time I've got buck fever now lol

[rigid forge]

HOLY

Nice kill, dude!

You should be proud of yourself, man

[restive briar]

It seems to me that whenever a GO update/patch is released that a new rack starts spawning in. I wonder if there really is some sort of rotation going on.
Also, great trophy!

[full cave]

that’s dope dude, it’s like a mix between the typical and non typical. nice kill dude!

[restive cedar]

Such a nice rack. That’s sick.

[tribal pawn]

its half the one rack that has been spawning other half is one that hasnt been able to

[full cave]

Congrats!

[pliant oak]

was it just on the map or did you kill whitetails ? @remote carbon

[neon cedar]

does everyone on console forget they can take screenshots and not take pictures of their monitor

Still wanna see both harvest screens and recent harvest

[neon cedar]

Trust me I wanna believe it, I really do.

[full cave]

Hope it's real. Yea that right half is off of my favorite GO rack. Wouldve been awesome to see that entire rack spawn.

[neon cedar]

Just sus about it

[full cave]

Yea. Its become hard to believe anymore. When there's proper proof and its legit,I'm very happy for the person. I love the WT GOs.

[neon cedar]

Only one screenshot of the harvest was posted so it's a struggle lol

And I can hook up my xbox controller to my pc while on cotw and it'll overlay the controller as long as I'm playing on it

Need to see more to believe more

[vague temple]

They did post the harvest screen, also saw the latest harvests here yesterday but it got deleted

[neon cedar]

Are you sure

[vague temple]

Yeah

Bunch of whitetail with great one at the top matching the harvest score and time of shooting

[restive cedar]

The latest go posted is in fact legit. He did supply the harvest screen and everything else needed to verify it last night.

[neon cedar]

All I've seen is the truscore screen.

And if it was verified to be legit, all of what he "posted" would still be there. Cause I don't see it at all and I definitely pay attention to this chat when someone posts a GO.

[restive cedar]

I’m not sure why he removed the recent harvest list. But I did take a solid look at it and everything matched up

Maybe he will repost the hs image so everyone can see for themselves this one isn’t a fake.

Maybe one of the mods can look at the deleted messages and confirm it

[neon cedar]

If it's legit, why would he delete it.

[vague temple]

Who knows

[restive cedar]

There’s no explaining why some people do what they do. Let’s just for his sake hope he reposts it so there’s not all the non believer backlash

[restive cedar]

Ty bone. Now they won’t question you!

[distant fog]

Does someone know if they changed how whitetail enter their need zones? I’m grinding for the great one and they take forever now to get to their zones. And even worse they reset the zones so I’m struggling to even find zones now for them

[pliant oak]

they do seem to either turn up at different times or not at all

also some just dont seem to go to need zones

just follow the river on both sides about 50 m in see what you can find and lakes and ponds

thing is after you smash a few hundred its like they all dissapear

[distant fog]

Ya that’s what’s happening. It’s making this grind a pain in the you know what

I’m only like 300 whitetail deep so I have a way to go 😭

[ripe parrot]

are them new great one racks? look bigger and better looking ?

[red root]

All the new racks I've found so they are all spawning!

[tribal pawn]

seen posted does not mean spawning when most are hacked lol

[red root]

Bottom and top do have console buttons so maybe

I guess we know all 6 now?

Did I find all variations?

[magic phoenix]

Bruh that dd3 thumbnail

[red root]

Sure is

Is it just photoshopped

To make it clear I'm just posting to show all the variations I've seen not my kills

[tribal pawn]

we already knew all 6 variations and what they looked like from hackers posting them when greatones first released

[red root]

We did? Dang, did I atleast get all 6
Besides the 2

[tribal pawn]

No

[red root]

What ones am I missing besides flinters and Tu's

[full cave]

The half rack that was just posted

[tribal pawn]

You've only posted 3 and a half lol

[red root]

So the last one is just flinters with drop tines?

[tribal pawn]

the last picture you posted is flinters great one rack style that DD photoshopped drop tines onto if thats what you're asking

[spare matrix]

Did DD actually photoshop drop tines onto that picture?

[magic phoenix]

Yep

The flinter rack doesnt have drop tines like those

Don't think it has drop tines

It doesnt juat checked

[spare matrix]

wow

[red root]

@tribal pawn yeah I figured, what one am I missing

[pliant oak]

just gone to a drink zone that had 15 at it yesterday. drink zone just totally vanished 😭

didnt even shoot at it yesterday

[full cave]

Oof

[wooden hornet]

guys is the whitetail pop reset again with the update?

[red root]

Now I found the last one

[ripe parrot]

Never seen a 407 before

That’s a nice rack I wish we had some 8 and 10 pointer like theses

[solar pumice]

Did it feel like they nerfed whitetail populations or something?

[tribal pawn]

That's the same rack as the half one you already posted

[ripe parrot]

I like to see ew just keeping making GO whitetails new racks why not a huge 10 pointer with single drop

[red root]

They aren't making them anymore

[ripe parrot]

How long would it take few hours?

[magic phoenix]

Theyve had the racks the entire time, they just put them out when they feel like it

[ripe parrot]

New racks keeps players playing

[red root]

Its probably a day for a single rack

Did @full cave actually kill the great one

I promise I'm very close to being 100% its legit

[full cave]

👀

[red root]

👀

I'm 99.9 percent sure its legit

[neon cedar]

how do you only get a 275 session score from that

Such a weird thing for low session scores from a great one

[red root]

It's just how whitetail are

[neon cedar]

Yeah WT always weird

[full cave]

who tf uses imperial

[red root]

@full cave me, I range distance and dont use zeroing

[full cave]

It doesn’t matter cause it’s a game

And everything is clean in metric

The numbers are nice

[full cave]

I use imperial cause that’s what I’ve always been used too

[pliant oak]

nice to hear others do this i just do it by eye. 😁

[red root]

I would forget to change it out of excitement, and the dead zones/ranges bug me, so I use my eyes

And usually I only have to aim above the animal is with turkeys

[broken dagger]

If anyone wants to kill a GO message me I'll let you join me on pc

[magic phoenix]

cap

[short lava]

Cap

[full cave]

CAP

[full cave]

CAP

[red root]

《 CAP 》

[rigid needle]

whats a GO

yeah ik what a great one is

but i didnt know what GO meant

[neon cedar]

So are WT GOs at a solid point now?

If so, what GO do y'all wanna see next? I wanna see an elk or another deer

[magic phoenix]

wide elk

[neon cedar]

only the widest

[full cave]

It’s already nearly been a year

At this rate it’ll take years to get all species a great one

[pliant oak]

well thehunter games develop over many years

so its normal

[neon cedar]

So if I had a GO on my layton, does it change it to an overweight 3 if I opened my layton up to a multiplayer session

I seen this be a thing on console, just wanna know if it does it on pc

[magic phoenix]

Not anymore i think

[full cave]

just shot a go

[magic phoenix]

Post

[magic phoenix]

Totally dont say gold or anything

[full cave]

no

it means

go

then the ld is glitch

[flint galleon]

Stop lyin

[inland comet]

I hope your joking lol

[flint galleon]

Different text from cotw

[vague temple]

Chill mate it's supposed to be a joke

[restive cedar]

Lol. Nice bs post. Joke or not it’s just dumb

[inland comet]

Yea

285 diamond, 327 great one, 277 diamond

[rigid forge]

very nice

[neon cedar]

How many WT zones does everyone have that they hop around to for GOs

[inland comet]

I actually found mine on my map as an initial spawn

[thick mesa]

how many kills in were you @inland comet

[magic phoenix]

He said he found it as a initial spawn

[neon cedar]

Initial spawn of your own map?

Do you not play your own layton map?

[full cave]

It's basically a lottery system. 1 person could kill 10 WT and get a GO. Anorher person could kill 10,000 WT and never see one. Its such a lame system considering theres 6 variations. Theres literally 0 chance anybody could collect all 6. Lame,but it is what it is. Hopefully they change that someday but wouldnt hold my breath.

Without hacking them into the game that is. Thats why people do that cause thats the only way youd have a chance at collecting them all. Id assume thered be much less of that if they were actually achievable through honest game play 🤷

[solar pumice]

They said themselves they arent meant to be specifically hunted

Its like nontypical Boone and Crocket bucks, only a handful of people have killed one

[full cave]

Yes everybody knows that

As they say themselves on many aspects,its just a video game

And actually theres way more than just a handful of B+CS and P and youngs taken every year 🤷

So again the question arises,is it just a video game?

[solar pumice]

Not when it comes to bucks like hole in the horn, those are almost one of a kind

Thats what theyre meant to be like

[full cave]

Yes youre correct. Hole in the horn is 1 deer thats ever been killed. It was just 1 specific deer that was born in real life. You are corrwct there. Is this real life or just a game???

[inland comet]

I found mine after one kill. It was an initial spawn on my map after the pop reset

[full cave]

Yep. We know.

So by your logic sheriff if somebody kills a specific GO that version shouldnt be available to anybody else to kill. Thats real life. Again,is this real life or just a game??

It cant be both ways. Cause after all,its just a game 🤷

That's the response when asked real questions like "in real life and I look through binoculars its never gives a trophy rating" that should be eliminated from the game. The response is"its just a video game". Just like the GO debate so to speak. Are we real life hunting on our screens or just playing a game??

That's my point. 🤷

[tepid drift]

Would this have been fabled if not messed up?

[solar pumice]

No, a level 4 whitetail is weird though

Just a glitch I guess

[analog flower]

Yup that's first I've seen. Overweight wt were still lvl 3 at least. And since the very last update there haven't been a single bugged GO posted.

[analog flower]

People are impatient and don't understand that this is not pokemon. You are not supposed to grind them to collect them all. It will drive you insane. Whole point of GO is to have something extremely rare which not everyone will ever get. Getting a single one is great luck and people should be proud if they manage to get one. Is it lottery system? Yes but that's the point. Enjoy the game and if you come across one, that's great 👍

[full cave]

You def need to post that in bug reports Jason. Sorry for your loss.I'm downloading this long awaited patch right now. So frustrating. Here it looked like the GO was finally fully fixed. Now we get lvl4 Ows.? Dang. Thats not very great.

[neon cedar]

Don’t understand how that kind of shit happens. Are you on xbox Jason?

[full cave]

After almost 10 months of the GO it def shouldnt be happening. That may have been his 1 and only winning lottery ticket and never have another chance. I won an OW a long time ago and have been bitter ever since.

[spare matrix]

While I agree, I think that if they wanted to introduce more variety in WT racks, they should have added more diamond racks, not GO racks. What's the point in all the different Great One racks if most players will never get a single Great One? Wouldn't it be better to focus that variety elsewhere? But that's just my opinion.

[solar pumice]

Exactly, hunting is real life can work the same way. Especially when it comes to legendarily big deer like the Great Ones are based off of

[analog flower]

GO is aimed for people who have played the game a lot or want to achieve something most people won't get. There are a lot of veteran players who have achieved almost everything in the game so having one really rare animal keeps even those players going since there is something they haven't got yet. More antler variety would be a great thing I agree.

[solar pumice]

It feels like real hunting in some ways too, I have to scout good huntings places for white then set up tripods/tents and have a general game plan for how i want to do it

[full cave]

I wonder what the next GO animal will be

[rugged roost]

Imagine its pronghorn ill be so happy

[full cave]

I’d like to see a Rocky Mountain Elk or Red Deer GO

With red deer they could do a different rack shape for each map there on

[rugged roost]

Yeah

[magic phoenix]

Wide elk

[full cave]

👀

WIDE elk

[analog flower]

Roe deer would be great. Unexpected but welcome

[magic phoenix]

Roe deer with rme antlers

[restive cedar]

Musk deer with 2’ fangs 🤣

[analog flower]

I saw a picture of a unicorn roe. It was pretty cool.

That would be an animal worth the title fabled one

[whole forge]

The jackloupe as a GO

[edgy grove]

GO?

[whole forge]

Great one

[edgy grove]

Oh

[solar pumice]

Mule deer great ones would be nice

[ripe parrot]

Mule deer will be next 100%

[tribal pawn]

Overweight diamonds that are supposed to be great ones are back but now as higher levels

[tribal pawn]

GO Mule deer would be my favorite thing they could ever add but they need to fix the whitetail first

[solar pumice]

Agreed, ive been saying we need way more transparency on what are glitches and what arent regarding great ones

[restive cedar]

How so? Lvl 4 wt doesn’t exist. Also flesh shot so no vitals passed something just don’t sit right with the wt posted.

[tribal pawn]

Because I've seen 3 already posted like that

1 even being a lvl 5

And they're over 100kgs like only great ones can

[restive cedar]

Damn that kinda sucks. The go issue needs to get sorted out. I was kind of excited thinking they were working somewhat proper until I saw this now

[full cave]

Yepyoure right about that sheriff. And I was too snap. Esp after we waited 2 months for the patch that came with SRP for them. Then another 2 1/2 months for this patch. And theyre still broke. Very frustrating. At least for those who play for the GO. Yea a GO mulie would be amazing. Or GO Elk or moose. Idk,dont really care until they can fix this GO.

[restive cedar]

First and foremost. Need to get it together and have the wt working properly. Why all of a sudden is there lvl 4 wt. if it’s something that has been implemented intentionally they should at the very least let us know that this is a change they have made. As of now I just assume it’s another problem that will take god knows how long to get sorted.

[sage shard]

I think that wt need to be completely redone

[charred pendant]

Just got the update for ps4 anyone else having it take 2 plus hours in game time for wt to get to there zones

[pliant oak]

they can get later than old ways gotta change it up experiment

i do normal 12 - 330

then i may start 1 till 4

then 2 till 4

trying to catch them on route to places they seem to be travelling a lot now

[restive cedar]

There’s more travel time than zone time now it seems. I rarely see anything during zone time since latest patch for xbox

[charred pendant]

I put it at 11:40 and they just showed up at 15:14

[restive cedar]

About par for course these days

[charred pendant]

Do they show up to feed zones quicker i feel like it has to be a bug taking 2 plus hours to get to a drink zone

[restive cedar]

All zones seem to be off

Sometimes they show up for about 15min other times not at all

Or they do but they don’t stop and just pass thru. I’ve done mass sweeps of areas and it’s just a barren waste land. Then I watch them spawn in and will follow them for almost an entire day and never see them stop at a zone

[charred pendant]

Definitely has to be a bug then I hope they fix it soon wt are the only thing I hunt anymore

[restive cedar]

It’s why I bought the game lol

[full cave]

Yea its a bug. I noticed it start happening when SRP came online. I stopped chasing the GO cause they were bugged and focused on finding mulie diamond. Then I noticed mulies that made it to the zone for 2 in game minutes then leaving. Also noticing other heards on their way to a known zone then right before they got to the zone the clock hit the end of the need zone time and the herd would turn and leave before they made it to the zone. Seems to be getting worse. 🤷 Yes the animals used to use the zones at different times but they would actually use the zones. Its happened before. Can't say for certain but there was a patch for animals not using zones maybe 6 months ago give or take. Very frustrating indeed. It was with one of the GO patches they added to fix the GO many moons ago. 😹

[full cave]

And youre right,its def par for the course. Ive got the pumping iron upgrade for my bows,use the 70 lb bow and can barely penetrate a single lung. Huntermate is totally broken. GOs still broken,animals using need zones broken. When they add or try to fix something it breaks 10 other things. Bit get everybody,just rave about the game!! Its amazing!!! Amazingly frustrating. But hey,we got a new map!!!!!

[solar pumice]

Whitetail do need updated TruRacks severely

[full cave]

Yh..can someone please ping me when they fix whitetail and the greatone..ill start playing again

Didnt even buy the new map.

[ripe parrot]

Wt was the first to get Truracks

Needs an over haul 100%

[past sleet]

Please someone help me understand the whole great one fiasco. So great ones come out and I see Flinter kill a great one so I start grinding for one on Xbox. I kill over 4,000 whitetail. 41 diamonds. 15 piebald. 5 albino. 3 melanistic. And then I get a level 3 diamond that Weighs 109 kg’s. And it’s just a diamond. After that ew says that some of the racks for the great ones were not spawning correctly. So I wait for the update feb. 9 th. And start to grind again. I see a low level player kill a great one on Xbox so I’m am so happy to know it’s possible to get one. Then 3 days later I see a bugged great one again. So is it possible to get great ones or do you have to cheat and spawn one in to get one?

[full cave]

Thats a very good question. Unfortunately nobody affiliated with EW will ever say anything or explain that to us. Its beyound "classified". You'll have an easier time getting the codes to nuclear weapons. With the silence surrounding the GO it leads us to believe that you have to play the lottery twice to win. The first lottery is if one will spawn into your game. Then you play the lottery with a 50/50 chance if it will actually spawn in correctly with the correct antlers attached to it cause its still bugged. Thats why some say "dont GO looking for it or you'll GO insane". Its not because of the challenge but you'll GO insane once you put in all the hard work and effort and then get rewarded with a "bunk" GO. Its happened to me. Thats why I'm so frustrated and bitter all the time. After you experience that it breaks your will to start again and even play the game 🤷

[solar pumice]

I think its possible, but its still possible to get bugged ones. Ive seen level 4 overweight whitetails now

1 step forward, 1 step back essentially

[full cave]

Yep,sums it up very well there

[ripe parrot]

GO need to be adjusted how they spawn

[silk moon]

I play on PS4 and I think I am going to just shoot some whitetail and move on every now and then and hope a GO spawns should I do this or wait for them to be fixed.

[charred pendant]

Idk how anyone can hunt whitetail with them not showing up to there zones or waiting until last 30 mins of there zone time to show up its super game breaking to me I just hope we don't have to wait 6 months plus for it to get changed

[outer badger]

Any one have any tips on finding a great one

[solar pumice]

Overweight diamonds just need to be fixed, i think everything else with how GO’s work is fine

[tribal pawn]

That's the thing. The overweight diamonds seem to be the other great one racks that aren't spawning

[solar pumice]

Cowabunga then

[pliant oak]

unless we know its true everything is heresay

many of us who grind for the great one have experienced much of what is said

the thing is we dont fully understand how the GO actually happen we have ideas suggestions opinions whether what we think is true is questionable

over weight diamonds do seem to be spawning after the latest update

whether they are the other racks for gos or just gos in general none on us know

i do think the whitetails and how they are should be over looked and i do honestly believe they are being looked at.

i think one thing that does need to be realized is there are many people who want to hunt for the great one. not just have a chance of getting one. the game is geared to getting trophy animals in many ways so its understandable many want the ultimate trophy animal.

[full cave]

Yes we were told about the Ows once they started popping up in the beginning. TK confirmed back then in several streams that they were supposed to be GOs.

So that parts not speculation

[magic phoenix]

So, basically they allowed the other racks to spawn, at the cost of the other 2 racks

[pliant oak]

we dont know why only one was spawning

it could be by design or by bug we dont actually know

speculation for eg it might be only one is legit so you know any others are cheated in

overweights happened before then underweights now it seems overweights are back. i dont think any of it is simple to sort out. if it was i think it would of been already.

[restive cedar]

It really can’t be any more difficult than creating an entirely new reserve. They have 9 levels for red deer. Your telling me we can’t fix white tail. They need to focus on fixing issues not adding more stuff for more issues

[ripe parrot]

You gotta be able to launch cotw any time load LLD and have a chance at a GO it’s crazy right now

[restive cedar]

I think if the spawn rate was changed it could fix some of the issues. Maybe it’s too random and it throws off the system to where it’s giving ow and uw go’s or just not at all.

IDK I just saw an OG that was shot the other day. Seems perfectly legit. If thats the case then the OWs must be variations that are not spawning correctly. Would be nice for EW to have an stream open to GO q+a so we could get some honest answers. Without it like Ron was saying it just fuels wild speculation. I think if the did something like that it woyld ease a lot of tension amongst us GO hunters. Even if they dont know what the problem is,at least we would know. Honesty would bring a lot more understanding from us GO chasers. But like snap said it really needs to be addressed. We can send people to the moon but can't figure out how to make a video game perform properly???

[neon cedar]

Kinda sad that any GO added in will just be non-typicals

[analog flower]

How you know? Has there been official news about this? What I recall from GOs lauch, they specifically said not all will be non-typicals. It just happens to be that for wt. They can add GOs which are something else like monster wild boar, big scarred grizzly etc.

[short lava]

In flinters discord

[analog flower]

2nd uneven GO. Nice

[full cave]

That’s cool

[short lava]

I don't even think the guy who got it grinded for it, he said he just stumbled upon it

[analog flower]

Sounds like exactly what GOs were supposed to be. Something you come across while hunting. That'll be a great story to tell.

[pliant oak]

yeah i think they maybe just are actually spawning in now instead of coming off a respawn

or both

really need to know from the people that got them if they killed whitetail prior or just seen the great one and shot it

[full cave]

Oh a new rack that we haven't seen, does that mean GO have finally been fixed?

[tribal pawn]

Not fully. On console they seem to be

[red root]

This game would have to have classics respawning system. You have to grind whitetail to even get it to spawn. So unless you grind just without a goal then you can get it without grinding. That's very badly worded but I think you'll get it

[stray night]

This is not mine, but someone posted this in flinters discord, looks legit since it’s on ps4.

They said they grinned about 2000 whitetail before they got it

*grinded

[full cave]

It seems they would have a lot more money on 2000 kills??

[stray night]

Whitetail don’t give a lot of cash tho

It does still seem like he should have more though

[ripe parrot]

Wish people would take field pics and not just the score

[stray night]

He has one pic of it in the trophy lodge

[sage sparrow]

Thats quitbike, pretty sure the vids on yt

[stray night]

Yeah I watched it, if anybody else wants to his channel name is quitbike5020, if you go to the channel you will see the video about the great one

[solar pumice]

He couldve just dumped his money into structures, thats what I do

[north horizon]

@stray night what is flinters discord, can you send me a invite

[tropic musk]

snappyturtle333#0529 has been warned

Reason: Posted an invite

[stray night]

It won’t let me post an invite

Accept my friend request and I can invite you

@north horizon

[pliant oak]

you can spend a lot of money on tents alone remember mister beaver i swear he owes me a million 😁

[full cave]

I have grinded over 3k whitetail now..and im clise to broke

Its not the only thing i grind tho..and i spend wayyy to much on multi mounts for the lodge.

So stop with all the finger pointing ...oh he dint have that much money for the amount of kills..yeah bro..how do u know he didnt spend it all on ammo..or other things..

[full cave]

It was something I saw. I meant nothing from it.
SO ALL OF U CHILL OUT!!!
U figured a low estimate of 500.00 for 1 at and that is 1 million and that would be with out shooting any other animals. Tents are 260,000 to complete a map, tri pods too.
@951CLUB#3891 @dgeesio aka ronMctube#4695 @TheSheriff#0126

@pliant oak
I don't understand. If Mr. Beaver decides to take out your tent. It goes back into your inventory.

[pliant oak]

it didnt use to i used to lose 2 tents probably a hunt

that adds up 😁

so imagine a year playing hrs every day losing numerous tents a day quite expensive

that was just to give you a idea on why some people who play a lot may not have millions.

tbh if you wanna go earn cash just go smash canada geese

you can earn 20,000 in ten minutes sometimes

[full cave]

I have been playing since 11/17 and NEVER had that

[pliant oak]

maybe you havent but the beaver issue was a well known one which many had.

[full cave]

@pliant oak
I'm not saying I don't have stuff removed, but I was always able to find it in my inventory.
The 1 difference, I'm on console.

[pliant oak]

yeah it was fixed a while ago but it was about for a long time

as said dont matter now but it is just one of the reasons why not everyone has loads of cash even though they played many hrs

there is actually memes about it

[short lava]

Well now there's level 4 and 5 whitetail. Hope there not the next Overweight great ones.

[tribal pawn]

They're

[north horizon]

@stray night I sent a request

[neon cedar]

Oh man it's mule deer all over again.

[autumn lodge]

is this rare?

[full cave]

Yes

Albino, melanistic, and piebald are rare for most animals

[autumn lodge]

yooooooooooooooooo

me get lucky then

On my first 2 days, I looked at steam and saw I appereanlty I got a Diamond 🤣 and I didnt even know how to play the game, I am so mad

[radiant tinsel]

My 403m vital organ hit, my longest so far on this level 5 bear

[full cave]

For general or trophy shots??

[full cave]

I hit a heart shot at 415 on a bear

[rugged roost]

This is my longest

[pliant oak]

you could try my long range guide on silver ridge you can shoot 500m+ there

[viscid cairn]

has any one found a great one other than whitetail yet?

it’s been almost a year so you’d think ew might have added another by now

[charred pendant]

There's only whitetail great ones still

[viscid cairn]

👍

thanks

[rigid forge]

my current best is 495m. could probably push that farther with better positioning

[pliant oak]

try the position in my video you will shoot further than that

[full cave]

Luckily WT are the only GO. Its been almost a year and the current GO is still bugged.

[full cave]

And just a tip to all who are hunting WT and the GO,found out why its so hard to find need zones,besides the fact that a huge percentage of drink zones are still around 200-250 meters up into the forests. Need zones are bugged/broke,however you want to call them. If you want to make sure you're not missing a zone you need to start looking for zones no earlier than 1430 at minimum. Ive got 3 heards that dont come in until 30 mins after need zone time,stay for 1-2 minutes in game time then leave. Ive found 2 other heards that head toward their zone and when the need zone time stops,the heard stops and leave even tho they never actually made it to the zone. I noticed this behavior with mulies once SRP and patch was released. So that makes finding the GO 1000 times harder than before. He could be on your map but youd never even know cause its not even using its zone.

[full cave]

Beautiful. Thats my Fav GO actually. Shame I'll probably end up with another frickin OW instead of that 😡😡😡

Also another tip apparently the stupid bug where if you travel too far away from a killed animal amd come back it disappears. Killed 2 WT tracked the one with a bad shot. Came back to claim the other and it was gone. 😡 So sick of these damn bugs plaguing WT. And the game in general. My ps4 crashes at least once a session after this stupid update. But hey,just rave about how awesome the game is!!!! Nothings worse than being all set up for a hunt and the dang blue screen appears vause COTW crashed again. Its awesome!!! No other game I play crashes like this. But its amazing!!!!!

[full cave]

So yea point was claim the dead WT that you see asap. I chose to get the farther away one first cause it ran back in the direction it came from so I was trying to back track that one to its need zone. But apparently theres an issue with tracks too cause after about 200 m the track I was following just vanished. So now you can't even back track WT to their zones anymore. 😡😡 So since animals arent using their zones properly,you can't back track WT to drink zones,its just a crap shoot at finding their zones now days.

[noble patrol]

what is the weight estimate in lbs for the GO

[magic phoenix]

242 i think

[main vale]

One question, how many white tails do I have to kill in the herd so that the trough is not erased?

[sly oak]

I noticed something on a few of my runs but I'm not sure if it's enough testing to prove it. I've gone to zones that only spawn 1 buck and killed it plus 1 or 2 of the doe. I don't pick the doe up and I exit my game at the end of my run before starting a new run and they come back as either 1 or 2 bucks.

[full cave]

213 - 242 lbs

[noble patrol]

thanks

[full cave]

No problem

[main vale]

Thanks bob

[sly oak]

I was just stating something, it wasn't supposed to be a response to your question.

[main vale]

Ok

[charred pendant]

If anyone is having issues with wt showing up super late to their zones

I learned that removing all structures from your map will help with that

Or what I've been doing is setting my time to 1200 after I do my run then close game and reopen u can have tents this way.

[pliant oak]

later does seem to work better ive been tracking what i thought was a GO for two weeks sadly its turned out to be a overweight whitetail. so reset pop to start again .

hopefully 3rd time lucky

does sting a bit should of had two great ones now, thats ony made me more determined now

[ripe parrot]

Looks like someone didn’t like that GO I posted 😒

[analog flower]

It fell under k- Share Images of, or discuss cheats, hacks or Mods or post stolen images claiming they are yours as it was from modding site.

[restive cedar]

Why not just play the game with the cards you’ve been dealt and not do a pop reset.

[magic phoenix]

Yea

Its only fair if console gets the ability to pop reset without an update or restarting our games

[rugged roost]

Is it worth grinding the GO now on xbox?

[pliant oak]

well mine was bugged so for piece of mind rather just start again fresh

dont want to spend months of grinding only for it to happen again

[restive cedar]

Neither do I but I play the cards I’ve been dealt.

[pliant oak]

you do what you want ive had this twice now

so id rather just start again fresh

just spent a month hunting hrs every day and did it for two months last time

[restive cedar]

As a recognized community member and content creator you guys should have some standards and not just pop reset when your not happy with the game. We all just had a reset with the last dlc drop and patch.

[pliant oak]

which was bugged for me

so i dont get why you bothered

and please dont go down the creator route and try and make it a big thing

bugged layton its been reset

simple

[rugged roost]

How the hell do you even reset a animal pop

[restive cedar]

Can only do it on pc cause you have to delete the animal files

[rugged roost]

Makes sense

[restive cedar]

It’s not the way the game was intended to be played it’s a crap loophole

[pliant oak]

yet we get pop resets with patches

if your game was bugged you would just play on ?

no you would do the same

[restive cedar]

The game is always bugged man. I just play it.

[rugged roost]

I would just play on a non bugged map until its fixed and if they were all bugged then i would do a pop reset

[pliant oak]

which is exactly the same thing

a pop reset would be done

so its not even a deal

[restive cedar]

We get patches to fix the game. They never work out the way as intended. When the developer does a reset it’s intentional and across the board.

Altering files is altering files

[pliant oak]

but to fix my issue you would do a pop reset

so....

[restive cedar]

No sorry I wouldn’t screw with my game files.

[pliant oak]

dont be that one

[rigid needle]

they need a GO roosevelt elk with like a club head or something

[restive cedar]

Don’t be that one what

[pliant oak]

trying to make a big deal out of a issue

[restive cedar]

I’ve said my piece is what it is.

[pliant oak]

yeah but you trying to bring other things into what isnt even about it

the issue is my layton was bugged you could only fix by pop reset

anyways....back to the GO grind.

[full cave]

On the stream today they said they checked WT and there was no problem 😹😹

[ripe parrot]

😂

[full cave]

I asked about the level 4-5 WT and didnt get an answer. I did get an answer about ps4 crashing and they said they havent heard of it 🤷 If they see anything on the statistics they'll look into a patch. Not sure what that means besides will have to stop playing the game until it doeant crash I guess

Yea I laughed pretty hard when I heard that too zeek

[sour shale]

They should put a anti cheat client on the game and screw the cheaters over

[pliant oak]

hopefully that will come at some point

[sour shale]

That includes resetting too

[wise crane]

First fix the game so resets are not necessary

[brave gate]

It'd be nice if they didnt delete my WT zones and make it so that they never show up until the end of the need zones

[full cave]

Yea theres def an issue with need zones. Not all my heards. I'd say 65% use them properly and the rest have issues. Either they turn around before they get to the zone or they show up a good 45 IGM past the zone time,stay for 1-2 IGM then leave.

[full cave]

Yep. Just happened again. For experimentation purposes I camped on a location that has a herd of 9 WT which had 4 does and 5 bucks. At 1330 3 does came in. At 1615 the 3 does left and then 1 DOE and 5 bucks started heading to that zone and halfway there they changed course and headed away from the zone. I called and shot 2 bucks bit thats not the point. People are struggling to find WT zones cause the dumb zones or animals,are not using the zones properly. And that zones end time is 1500. So over an hour past drink zone ending the animals tried to go to the zone but never made it. Is so dang frustrating. Leads to a lot of wasted time. Seems like we need to just cover the entire make at least 4 times over to even come close to finding all the zones. This never happened bedore SRP update. It's just getting worse. Bit they checked and theres nothing wrong with WT at all 🙄 And thats not even including talking about OW GOs. Clearly theres a problem with how theyre testing the game they build. Cause between my game crashing and this need zone issue, OW,not much reason for me to play this game. Thats all I play it for was WT and the GO. The game itself is making it unplayable caise who knows it maybe 10 minutes,30 or an hour into playing and it crashes 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

[full cave]

@full cave
If you can't find enough good reasons for playing the game.
THEN STOP PLAYING IT!!!
Staying on the hunter discord bitching about it everyday, isn't going to make any changes.
I understand you are upset, but it has to be a better way for you to try to get some help.
INSTEAD OF BITCHING ABOUT IT AND THEN BRINGING EVERYONE ELSE DOWN.

Well when a patch is announced for in game improvements and it actually makes the game worse then the feed back should be heard. Nobody ever once said way back when before its become unplayable and I gave positive feedback to stop saying good things all the time. The door swings both ways. The discords for voicing opinions and sharing COTW experiences.

[magic phoenix]

It might make changes though, a community manager or a dev could see it and think people want it fixed

[sly oak]

Yea all the issues started with srp coming out

[magic phoenix]

GO release

[full cave]

Exactly. When in todays stream they said they checked WT and found no issue or theyve never heard of this patch causing ps4s to crash then the submissions we give to support and the noise we make hear isnt getting through. I used to love this game. I just want that feeling back and see the game be awesome again 🤷 I dont dog you or anybody elses opinion.

Plus just trying to actually help.others out by my experiences. I'm guessing not many people even gave thought to looking for WT at drink zones 45mins to an hour past drink zone end time. I hope that info helps people who are struggling find more zones .

[ripe parrot]

Apex is a good game engine just buggy

[slate fractal]

Before I go running around my map has anyone tried hunting their feed zones? Or is it the same issue with them showing up to feed zones too?

[eager pumice]

this one just showed up in the Facebook group

[tame solar]

They are the best looking ones

[full cave]

Feed zones seem to be ok. Although ive only got a few of those. I try to find every drink zone on the map first. Then double back and find the feed zones. That way you have multiple.options at seeing herds that you havent unlocked a zone for and just opportunity to kill more animals. Some are in such dense cover that its not worth th time. But most are in pretty open patches of the forest.

Yea thats a good looking buck!

[ripe parrot]

It’s a nice rack but it’s sad how EW make one side then mirror the other side. Saves time but whitetails never grow identical racks on each side especially non-typicals however that Is a huge rack weren’t theses 336 score ?

[full cave]

I love that rack for the great ones

Zeek I’ve seen them score from 330-430. That rack has a pretty wide range

[red root]

@full cave you names makes it very ironic

[slate fractal]

Thanks Ill take a look

[full cave]

@full cave u literally have 0 place to say this..also makes everything think ur new to the game..so if u dont know..here it is..the games been buggy for a long time.if people want to complain..u let them. Ur in no place to tell people what they can complain about..if u dont like seeing people complain..come off the discord. The game is buggy..people complain about it..end of story.

@full cave its also the very definition of how to cause change..point out a problem..and stay on it everyday until u see a change or get a response from someone who can make a change. Imagine the game was broke amd nobody said anything...amd expected it to get fixed and the same time. good logic bro💪

[pliant oak]

yeah this is the method i been doing for the last few weeks. if you miss the drinking zones just go a bit later and often the same herd is in a simular area

actually worked really well yesterday and found a great group which i would of missed if it was drinking time

[full cave]

@full cave
PLEASE STAY OUT OF MY CONVERSATION!!
IF I WAS TALKING TO YOU I WOULD INCLUDE YOU. U ARE WAY OFF BASE AND DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE EVEN TALKING ABOUT.

Its in a discord einstien..it isnt UR convo...send a private message to the guy if u dont want it out in the open. Easy isnt it.

@full cave

@full cave
Tu
I didn't know that. I like the comment.
U have a good day, and remember who is the genius.

It aint u my guy..so sit down and stop shouting at people like ur important. @full cave ..little rat

[analog flower]

Let's keep the caps lock off now on, thank you.

[full cave]

Yea I'm shifting my strat to feed zones esp PM cause the time is much longer. And a good tip is to look in the long or wide saddles. Those seem pretty "open" as far as cover goes and you can usually find them in the wide open at first. Theres lots by hunting structures and they seem to be around outposts too. Hope that helps people find more. Thats what I've been doing until the game crashes. Then I get frustrated and vent cause the game keeps me from playing. And yes 951s right,if people dont speak up nothing will change. I keep playing and going through torture cause that's all I play for is the GO and wont stop till I get a real one not the OWs I got. I just want it to be the game it used to be and I would rave about way back when 🤷

[pliant oak]

well i gave my save over to the devs and they think they know what was the issue and may help with the great one. which is great news. really happy about that. 😎

[full cave]

Awesome. I sure hope so.

[ripe parrot]

Anyone know if a 700 plus great one been shot yet?

[restive cedar]

Let’s all hope they can get to the bottom of the go issues. Would be a nice change to all us dedicated players to have it working as intended

[full cave]

Indeed. THAT would get me excited again! Well that and a fix for my console crashing all the time.

[tame solar]

I'm having issues of the deer never getting to there zones. I did a grind a few months back and got 10 diamonds but now I can't find zones because the deer don't get to them. I found a herd traveling so I decided to follow them and they finally got to there zone at 15:05 the problem was that they were walking almost the whole time making them take forever. It used to not be like this and even though no great ones were really being shot at least they were fun to hunt. 5 zones 2 hours with twelve tents that were set up around a bunch of lakes.

Not gonna lie I think the whitetail think there drink time is 13-16. It is very possible for how late they come. Idk let me know what you think

[slate fractal]

Are you talking about the issue with the Whitetail getting to zones or them spawning as level 4s and 5s?

[pliant oak]

i think its to do with overweight ones but thats speculation

i had a overweight diamond again

gave em my save to try and help figure it out

was 108kg so should of been a GO

[tame solar]

I feel like the whitetail are more broken than we think

[pliant oak]

tbh i think its more just the drink time zone

later on they seem to behave actually pretty spot on

but drink time they seem to be always travelling when they should be drinking

[iron valve]

I've noticed that as well makes it hard to find new zones

[full cave]

👋

[iron valve]

Ello

[slate fractal]

Yea hopefully they fix the zones. I can't send my save in since I'm on xbox though

[full cave]

Yep you're right there Mctube. And it creates a "domino affect". Meaning ive switched to feed zones cause over all theyre actually easier to hunt. But pm feed zones you have to start later cause the WT leave the drink zones up to an 11/2 hour later than norm so they get to the feed zones around dark. Its like the WT are lost and just travel around the map aimlessly. The am feed zones seem to be a little more consistent. But why I say feed zones are easier is that when WT are at most drink zones they actually seem to be in the deepest,nastiest cover in the forest. At feed zones theyre in the forest but in open areas. If that makes sense. Some drink zones are "realistic" in that they drink near water but most drink from bushes or trees in thick cover. I know that doesnt make sense but thats how they are right now. If this game is "the most realistic hunting game ever made" they need to change that. It should actually be harder to hunt feed zones. But right now the games so messed up that who actually knows up from down 😹😹

So thats a tip for all who are looking for the GO. Abandon the long time st rat of farming drink zones. Hunt feed zones until they fix drink zones and the track issue. Meaning the tracks seemed to be bugged now. You can't consistently "back track" to a drink zone. Seems you can track an "active track" to the current need zone time. So if you find a track from any feed or rest zone you will not be able to back track to a drink zone anymore. At least on console that seems to be how it is. Maybe you can on pc but theres 2 different versions of the game. 1s pc version and the console version performs differently.

[solar pumice]

Hmm ill have to try it

Drink zones have felt a little wonky since the update

Inconsistent

[full cave]

Yep they def are sheriff. Ive given up ffinding all my drink zones. Takes way too much time and so inefficient. Feed zones have longer times and as of right now are easier to find WT. Look in "saddles" around hunting structures and outposts. Ive had way more luck finding WT using that strat versus the normal "drink zone farming"

The "ironic" part is that ive found a lot of feed zones down in the open by the river where deer should be drinking and a lot of my drink zones are 2-300 meters in the forests where deer should be eating. Its totally backwards ATM. I havent perfected the strat rigjt now cause my game crashes so much after this update. Bit its been more effective. Yesterday I found 3 feed zones in less than 45 mins "real life time". Takes me hours RLT to find just 2 drink zones. Hope that helps others have more sucsess !! I just want a GO and see more GOs here!!

And if you do try the strat sheriff in the pm,dont start until 1630 at the earliest. Drink zones are so messed up that the deer "connected" to the messed up zones show up later becuase of that. AM zones seem different. Like there's some kind of "reset" in the pm rest zones.

[pliant oak]

ive started just hunting at 2 30 onwards

seems to be working out

[errant crater]

Just spotted him!!

GOT'EM!

[ripe parrot]

Nice deer

[full cave]

Umm that other deer that was in the same here as your great one looked huge

[lilac maple]

Nice. I'm yet to run across him

[tribal pawn]

Looks like it be hacks

[ripe parrot]

When someone shoots a great one why do then say it’s a hack😒

[full cave]

Did you not see the other deer in the herd with the level 10? Seems pretty suspicious because that other deer had a diamond rack

[rugged roost]

Is that really enough to say hacks tho what if they were really lucky

[restive briar]

Looked like a level 2 to me then anything else.

[tribal pawn]

The other was 100% a lvl 3

[full cave]

Yeah it had a diamond rack, a diamond and a great one in the same herd is really suspicious. Not saying it’s hacks but it easily could be

[tribal pawn]

Guy didn't even mention it either

[full cave]

Yeah

[errant crater]

That other deer was a sliver, he had asymmetric rack (right rack was small).

[sage sparrow]

What level was it

[errant crater]

Don't remember, only remember it being silver with a mediocre rack

[full cave]

Oh now I see it, but that one side is definitely a big diamond rack which made it suspicious, but now I see the other side is really small.

[twin cedar]

Great ones seem to spawn with another large buck

[ripe parrot]

Yeah doesn’t mean it’s hacked

[full cave]

I never said it was, I’m just saying it’s a little weird

[errant crater]

No problem man!

[full cave]

Alright cool. Congrats on the great one btw!

[pliant oak]

you can get multiple diamonds in one herd i think flinter had a diamond with the great one he had not sure i shot diamonds in same group of whitetails.

[quick granite]

flinter was hunting a lvl 3 diamond whitetail when the great one ran by him so it could be possible but it still seems pretty sus...

[pliant oak]

ah maybe that was it but you can get multiple trophy animals in a group

not common but does happen

i had a group of 15 with two diamond whitetail

[ripe parrot]

I got 2 220 lb wt out group of 10 yesterday

Hopefully a go will spawn more

[vague temple]

...

whitetail only get to 100...

[tribal pawn]

100kgs

220lbs

[full cave]

🤦‍♂️^

🤣

[topaz linden]

Any new tips on spawning the great one? Ive had 3k kills before, killing every buck. Seen people trying new methods where they leave lvl 1 male trivials, killing females to hopefully spawn a buck.

[full cave]

I want to star my great one grind but i don't know were i can start can any one help me

[pliant oak]

first find all your need zones or as many as you can

mostly just follow the river system

and ponds or near

start at 12 -3pm for drink zones but...at moment whitetail are getting to drink zones late.

many people at moment are having better success at 2 30 pm onwards

then when you got loads of zones pick off males

try not to destroy zones.

you can hunt mallards to ease hunting pressure

[full cave]

I can hunt any male but female no?

[ripe parrot]

Killed 3k wt?

[topaz linden]

Ye before update, like 23 diamonds . 2 bugged great ones i still cri about it

Ill be fine, just wondering if there are new methods of spawning one

[ripe parrot]

Few guys got one on ps4 just going hunting no grinding one just spawned in

[full cave]

I'm going to be one of those few

At what hour does the whitetails drink that i am gonna leave the map without any whitetail deer

[pliant oak]

yeah its unclear to whether they are just spawning in now without even killing whitetail

[pliant oak]

12 - 3 30

but at moment they seem to arrive late to drink zones

so you experiment

[full cave]

I will go for the right river and later the left river

[pliant oak]

yeh just go from bottom to top

stick tents at points

[full cave]

Let's see if we have luck

I have harvest 1192 animals

[pliant oak]

from what i can see many bigger groups seem to be in certain locations

so bottom left

middle river

[full cave]

I can go for the lakes at the middle?

[pliant oak]

yeah

blacktail are often in similar places

[full cave]

So i start at the middle river or at the left river?

[pliant oak]

start where you want just cover whole map

roonache is a good start

out post

then go all up left

then do middle river

then do the ponds or right part

there are whitetail on the very far right river edge of map

but not tht many

[full cave]

I start with the river of roonache and i will see were i go later on

[pliant oak]

yeah i generally start there at 12 30

[full cave]

Yeah i have put that hour

Killing female whitetail count at the grind?

I have like 18 females without any male

[ripe parrot]

I use the whitetail scent seems to work good

[pliant oak]

think scents could be worked on more in reality most people are shooting deer at 100m or more so not really needed

its often more visual spot shoot

this was simular in classic and no real benefit of using them

[ripe parrot]

Last 300 seconds and is 50 power better then calls. I mostly find resting spots and set up tree stands close to them

Looking for one lol 😂

[full cave]

Noooooo

[ripe parrot]

What’s that

[full cave]

Wait wait

[regal flint]

can you please tern the spawn rate up please ?

[hexed basin]

I think spawn rate on just normal whitetail everywhere I go I never find any

[polar veldt]

I dont know if it’s been said already but I was having the problem of no bucks coming back and I watched a (killClayton) video and he said that he’s bucks where coming back as does and his does as bucks and I shot a lot of my does and got two diamonds tonight so that might be new moves?!

[magic phoenix]

If this goes for all animals then i could probably get a diamond goat 2 resets

And someone got a second great one on reddit

[iron valve]

Man is gonna have a banger multimount

[full cave]

Is the guy who killed the first great one still here

[magic phoenix]

Yea

[tribal pawn]

not how it works. shooting every doe will delete that "herd" so a new one or new group will spawn not a shoot male a female respawns thing lol

[full cave]

Yesterday i killed like 5 males in one herd and it respawn and albino female

[iron valve]

If someone can do a ton a research on it I might as well do it to see

[keen flint]

Idk how everything works but I feel like shooting any one of a herd will result in a fully random new one spawning

Aka a doe could respawn as a diamond male but it could also just be another doe

And everything in between

[pliant oak]

think it is just random

but many think males killed = males respawn. whether thats the case or not no one really knows

i personally think you have so many whitetails you kill some then the game trys to balance or put back a similar amount

could be males could be females

whether shooting bigger males gives a better chance of a bigger whitetail spawning dont think that effects it myself probably just random

so if you dont know all the factors you do what is the easiest simpliest option. just kill all whitetail.

so this comes down to either keep zones and dont bust them kill a few skip between em

or....just kill everyone you see

need zones often pop up quite close to where you had them anyway

also with recent game changes things change so it really is a mystery which is kinda good because thats the whole point otherwise it would just be another diamond

[keen flint]

not sure why it wouldn't be random.. it would be kinda stupid if you could kill a certain one to have a higher chance of a rare one spawning xD

[pliant oak]

well there is always two sides to everything

often within any game there is game play mechanics

[full cave]

i have started the grind to get my great one, any tips?

[pliant oak]

i guess its just how you view anything

as above sam

ive been videoing and going into great detail

i offer lots of tips

in short you can just hunt hope to see a great one

you can just randomly come across one by chance

you can kill all whitetail hopefully by method design and try and get one

could be one kill could be 10000

[full cave]

so its all by chance?

[pliant oak]

no one knows

unless they obviously a call of the wild dev 😁

i personally think its just random

now especially

before maybe by design

[full cave]

ok well i subbed to your channel and im going to watch some of your vids on it, thanks for the help man

[white swan]

Hey guys I don’t really keep up to date with everything. Are great ones broken currently? Or can I get back to my grind and possibly find one

[pliant oak]

great ones are out there depends what you talking about >?

[white swan]

I remember a while back reading that they’re broken and not worth trying for. Not sure if there is any truth behind that

Didn’t expect to find you here man. Your channel is the first cotw one I subbed to, helped me out way back in the day

[pliant oak]

cheers

[slate fractal]

For me it's always been Males killed = Males Respawn until the latest patch. Now it just seems random.

[ripe parrot]

I noticed they fixed the antlers sinking into the ground when was that patched?

[glossy cove]

Since silver ridge peaks came out

[ripe parrot]

Wow 😳 never seen that

[dusk lodge]

just a quick question are you able to get more then one fabled i mean it would have to be rare as hell but possible or impossible?

[magic phoenix]

Yep

Someone on reddit has 2 great ones

[restive cedar]

@ripe parrot it’s not fixed. They still drop through the ground

[rigid forge]

possible? yes. probable? #nolifer

[full cave]

@rigid forge when flinter gets a second great one..ho say to him he has no life and keep that same energy👍

[rigid forge]

lol

[charred pendant]

Alot of us should have multiple GO but we got overweight diamonds instead

[keen flint]

Nah that's like saying you were one different number/letter away from winning the lottery, even tho the chances of winning stay the same no matter how close you get

[vital cloud]

Hi i play the hunter clasic

[vital cloud]

@full cave

[rigid forge]

Bruh this is a COTW channel

[jagged flare]

Was reading about the respawns being random, well, that might be good because i shoot everything i come across, I had a only female moose Layton map, could not find any males, so for fun and cash i shot a lot of cows, now i got males too,

[rigid forge]

could be because killing some of the females deleted the remainder of herds that used to have males in them, allowing entire new herds to spawn in

[jagged flare]

@rigid forge OK, but I think thats interresting, because, I got some spots on different maps wich are now female only, so I try to shoot them all, and see what happens,

Thanks for the info

[uneven otter]

How rare is this rack

[main vale]

Nice

How many hours and days did it take you to find it?

[uneven otter]

It took me a total of 260 hours of playtime and I killed over 1000 white tail

[ripe parrot]

Best rack in the game

[iron valve]

Imo the 600 scoring ones better

[twin cedar]

600 scoring one is bad I like the 400 scoring ones alot more

[ripe parrot]

Yeah the 644 rack not that great looking

I like to see that 415 rack without all the kickers and junk, just a big 8 or 10 pointer

Is there 4 different great ones or 3?

[tribal pawn]

6

[ripe parrot]

I don’t think there’s 6

[full cave]

Very nice!

[sage sparrow]

Theres 6

[full cave]

Feels like we are starting to see more and more GOs to pop up. Before you saw someone posting a GO perhaps once or twice a week, now it’s a daily occurrence. Something changed perhaps?

[full cave]

It definitely isn’t a daily occurrence, maybe 2 or 3 per week at most

[neon cedar]

But it's still WAY more than we ever had in a long time lol

[ripe parrot]

People on ps4 not even grinding already on the map

[full cave]

Guessing the GOs are functioning more. Before there would be 1 variation spawning and the ones that shouldve were Ows. I know theres level 4-5s now so its assumed those are variants that arent spawning correctly still.

There were more OWs posted than GOs before. But just a guess as to where actually seeing more GOs now

how long does it usually take to get a great one?

[full cave]

Anywhere from 30-3000 kills 🤷

Id love tonbe in the chase myself for a GO. But I lost 1 million credits in equipment Saturday from a crash. The screen froze for a second just like it always does before a crash. It didnt crash so I was pumped. A herd moved in and I went to grab a rifle and I had nothing in my inventory. I was like WTF? I went to a outpost,looked and everything was gone. I looked at the map and every tripod was removed from my map. I had to shut the console down then reinstall every dlc I had. Come to find out outside of the map I was on,layton,every single tent,tripod,goose blind,decoy and all where gone from every map I built up. Total of 30 tents,33 tripods,7 goose blinds,over 500 goose decoys,14 tree stands vanished!! All gone!!! Not only do I have to purchase all of that again,I need to set up everything I had on every map. Such BS!!! I'm never going to buy all that back. Was years of saving and building maps up. Can't even stomach it. I'm still so bitter. And thats saying it politely here in discord. But I felt so much better after TK casually says "dude were looking into some kind of crashes on console,mainly on xbox" today. 1 I'm on ps4. This craps been going on for weeks. Thanks for any kind of attempt to "calm the paying costumer". And yea I'm sure I'll here tons of "stop complaining about the game" from certain people here. I'm assuming nobody apart of the team actually plays console and understands. Its total BS. Waited 21/2 months for a cometely broken game. I can't even chase the GO legit cause my stupid game crashes every 20-30 mins on the clock. Yea thanks EW!!!! I rave nonstop about this experience! Can't wait for rhe next DLC where we'll get some kind of patch. Yay! I rave about this game!!!

It sucks cause the GO seems to be mostly functioning now. I'm so upset that my lidge and all my equipment outside of Layton is gone. Just vanished like a fart in the air. But the game rep was so understanding today. Glad after weeks of this theyre finally "looking into it". Thats not even addressing all the other stuff that broke after this update. What a joke. Its the best video game out there tho even tho I can't actually play it!!!! Its stuff you rave to everybody about!!! Amazing!!!!!

[full cave]

Maybe hire somebody who can integrate your "in game improvements" and new DLCs into the game without causing game breaking bugs so people here can 1 chase your "Premier trophy" the GO, but also deliver a product that youre selling us. Clearly if its taken weeks to finally hear about a game breaking bug youre not listening to the ayer base. But more importantly not actually "testing" your product. There's a thing called "quality control". I want to chase the GO and play the game. But sense you just throw something together and clearly "not test it" this is the kind of feedback you should expect!!!! Just make the game function. The GO was intended to bring "bored players" back into the game. Its actually driven me farther away than ever from this dumpster. You sold me on a GO but can't even play the game. Awesome,just awesome!!!! Considering ive lost over 1 million in equipment,lost 1000s of hours Real life time, building/buying equipment,got 2 OW (fake GOs) whats there to be happy about?!?!?! Seriously,what is there to be happy about????? I know you'll never "try" to make it up to all of us. But really. If any dev or rep reads this,DM me and please explain. Why should anybody buy any of this???

[full cave]

I'm 100% serious. Only any dev or rep DM me. Make me change my opinion. I know how PR works. But DM me and lets have a conversation. Would love to hear any and all "thoughts","ideas" as to why there's clearly no QA in what youre selling us. Esp when it pertains to the GO thats taken almost a year to fix. Why after I lost over 1 million in equipment as to why myself and others should stick with the game? I know its never going to happen. Id love to even chat with the "temp product owner" or the real "product owner",whatever that BS means. Please DM me. If it was any other "product" sold to a ccustomer and they ordered a sandwich and the customer got a "S*** Sandwich" the company supervisor/rep would respind to the customer.

And there'd be some kind of resolution. Not hold g my breath. Will just continue to "dream" of a GO cause this game wont actually let me chase the GO that Ive been "sold". I'm tired of eating the poo I'm served

[vague temple]

Can you not...

Your fake enthusiasm with every post is just annoying now.

[full cave]

Some people here say to just enjoy the game. So since I can't actually play the game I give "fake enthusiasm" in support of a game that I can't actually play. Its discord. Its for opinions both good and bad.

So I give "fake enthusiasm" until.I can actually give something real to be "enthusiastic" about. Will you give me over 1 million in credits to buy all that ive lost with this patch @vague temple ?????? Or replace the 100s upon 100s of hours ive put into the game chasing the GO??? Or put 2 GOs into the lodge that I lost chasing the bugged GO over 10 months?!?!?! No??I didnt think so 🤷

If you dont like opinions given in discord then dont read or reply @vague temple . Discords for positive and negative opinions 🤷 Lately theres nothing but negativity. Maybe point your finger at the ones selling/giving us a broken product???

[full cave]

👀

[full cave]

Im with tdog on this actaully..i been saying thos for a long time..yeah its a small team and such..but at what point do we get to say its not good anymore..even things like hunt club..are just there..broken..lodges are still broke..like everything u play this game for..os broke in some way..and people are voicing it now..of u sit in bushes and hunt rabbits..fine u do that..but people have been playing this game since it came out..amd we are still waiting for alot of things to be fixed so..i hear u tdogg..maybe soon they can be really honest with us and admit they dont now what they are doing at thos point

[iron valve]

There already in to deep and they dig themselves deeper after every dlc release they did dig themselves out a little last update tho

[restive cedar]

As 951 said. Hunt club. Broken all to hell. Why even have that in the game at this point. Do away with some of the arbitrary crap. It’s just something more to add to problems. The core values of the game need to be addressed. There’s no reason to have disappearing racks wether I shoot the animal and get up to it for harvest and the rack is not even on the animal or it’s 3/4 of the way buried in the ground. Animal behaviour for some species is just whacked out beyond belief. Why tracks are still hit and miss is beyond me. Even on sp I’ve been having issues with tracks again. Need zones. Why are need zones slowing down the game. You can’t manage herds with out zones. That’s a critical aspect to the game. If you have too many the game becomes unplayable. The only way to fix that on console is to resort to new game so you have fresh maps but lose everything. What a joke. The sheer amount of hrs some of us have put into the game to setup and get that prize buck just to have it go to shit. Get the damn game fixed. Have some transparency with the community. Why not do a live stream on a console. Then maybe just maybe when you start having these brutal issues you might actually have a slight understanding of how broken this really is

[full cave]

Someone needs their nap

[vestal magnet]

Yea very

[fast ridge]

This is seeming extremely off topic for what this channel's supposed to be for.

[magic phoenix]

This is where this usually happens

[sour shale]

Yo

[restive cedar]

What up trouble. How’s your search for the broken trophy

[leaden spear]

hey felleas

[quaint thunder]

Oop Nedbella be typing 👀

[minor hearth]

I feel for those who have lost all their items ( Tdogg ) and I’d be just as mad if it happened to me. I also feel for anyone who is having problems but THIS channel is about the GO’s and you continually go off topic when you talk about the company as a whole and other aspects of the game. Keep the channel to the topic it is intended please.

[quaint thunder]

In that line of thinking, do we know how many of the racks are spawning right now?

[iron valve]

I believe 3 are spawning

[sage ingot]

Are wonly rack GO a thing?

[jovial snow]

@full cave count yourself lucky..I've lost my lodge and setups(tents, tripods and etc) multiple times..but I still keep playing the game, because I love it. Just so you know it won't get better, because their code is shit - meaning it's written so badly that they can't possibly fix it without breaking something else every single time. It has to be rewritten from scratch and that won't happen. So my advice is, if you love the game, accept it as it is because otherwise you will go nuts eventually. Have a great day 🙂

[sturdy niche]

Please keep all chat on topic for the channels, the moderators have been very nice and lenient about this, but enough is enough! Its a shame some of you are having issues, but this is not the channel for it and we are aware of the issues, continuing to talk about it does nothing for the health of this Discord

[full cave]

Ok..cam we get a channel for it tho?

[sturdy niche]

No, that is what the bug reporting part is for and I guess general chat to some point

Dude, why do you think I am deleting your messages?

[full cave]

How often does that get the attention?

People literally haveto tell u when u stream once a week..only for them to be back handed away

[sturdy niche]

Nobody gets backhanded away

Ever

[full cave]

Ok

Ok

🤷‍♂️

We will just talk ablut the "great" one here

[sturdy niche]

Thats what this channel is for 🙂

[full cave]

🙃

[wooden hornet]

what about bugs that have been reported years ago and people are struggling to deal with them? Like the disappearing weapon bug that I had over 1.2k hours in the game before I accidentally read that Holster button fixes it. Wouldn't it be helpful to have a "How to play despite all the bugs" channel ?

[sturdy niche]

Do you mean, more so making people aware that there is a holster button?

[wooden hornet]

more so, making them aware that whenever they press 1, 2, 3, 4 and nothing happens (no guns come out), if they holster then the 1, 2, 3 buttons will start working again and your weapon/binocular/other item reappears

[iron valve]

That's not a bug that's just u struggling 😂

[keen flint]

and still, this channel is about the great one. Not about people's complaints 😄

if you have a bug to report, go to #704631659630166057 , if you need help, go to #🦌︴help-and-tips , you wanna talk about the great one, go here etc.

[white swan]

So I finally got around to purchasing tree stands and tripods. To anyone on the grind for a great one I believe it’s a must. Previously just used ground blinds but tripods make grinding zones so much easier, definitely helpful

[pliant oak]

i have tripods in some areas where the hieght benefits vision

location obviously is the key

[hushed warren]

Do you guys just set up a tripod by a feeding area and then wait like 1 hour prior to the time? How long do you end up waiting in the tripod? @ me if you respond please! 🙂

[pliant oak]

i just have them near a tent at locations i know i will get whitetail

so hop to tent at time when whitetail will be close and jump in tripod

i dont stay in em

just look see if whitetail are there for a minute or two then move somewhere else

[main vale]

Nooo

[full cave]

Sorry for your loss man :/

[ripe parrot]

Can you see GO during MP ? I seen a guy shoot a GO but for his buddy showed up as Level 3?

[tribal pawn]

thats because it should have been one of the racks that isnt spawning for the one guy

with truracs no animal will be the exact same score or rack even tho its the "same"animal you're looking at

[ripe parrot]

So if the host sees a level 3 it might be a great one for me? 😳

[full cave]

Hard to say. Well never know. It's "classified" information unfortunately :/ Having said that probably nobody even knows 🤷

[analog flower]

That guy happened to Kinsko who shot GO end of november in MP with his friend? It's on his channel. He sees a GO, his friend sees a lvl 3 wt. But that was couple patches ago so it should be different now.

[ripe parrot]

Ok 👍 just no point playing mp if you can’t see a GO

That’s the video I watched

[analog flower]

As I said, that happened couple patches ago. Haven't seen any GO shot in MP since then so no one knows if they work now.

[pliant oak]

maybe done so you cant steal someones go or for other reasons

[ripe parrot]

I shot level 3 the other day on mp wouder if it was a great one ? Be nice to know if it’s a bug or not

[fast ridge]

Great Ones are lvl 10

[ripe parrot]

Yeah but in mp great ones show up as level 3

[fast ridge]

fair chance it's a hack

[tribal pawn]

If the rack it happens to "spawn" with is one that's broken yea

[tribal pawn]

Broken great ones will be over 100kgs in weight but lvl 3-5 diamonds

[ripe parrot]

A bug 🐛 not a hack kinsko didn’t hack his Go

[fast ridge]

As a mod stated, that was a few patches ago and no legit GO has been seen in MP since.

[ripe parrot]

Nice 👍

[white swan]

All of my whitetail zones are single use only. One time they will be there and then never ever again. Is this normal now? because it never used to be like this and it’s making it extremely difficult

[mild olive]

Overweight diamond OOF

[dawn tide]

Unfortunately

[thin pilot]

Since I haven't found any1 from Poland who have shot The Great One (probably no one did yet) I'm dying of curiosity - could any1 tell me please what's the Polish ingame translations of 'fabled' and 'the great one'? Thanks in advance 🙂

[ripe parrot]

Ten wielki

[thin pilot]

Thanks 👍🏻And what about 'fabled'? My guess is 'bajeczny' or 'baśniowy' 🤔

[silk moon]

Can you still get the fabled piebald fur type?

[full cave]

No one has gotten one so we don’t know

[whole forge]

Even if you did someone will call hacks

[untold oar]

what is a fabled one?

[full cave]

It is (for now) a whitetail deer that is level ten. They are rarer than diamond so good luck tryin to find one

[untold oar]

oh cool

[silk moon]

Thanks for the response I was just kind of curious because I wonder if you could get that fur on a glitched GO because technically they would be a GO.

[iron valve]

If it isnt taken on console I dont trust it😂

[full cave]

Agreed 100%

I know theres so much excitement for this new content. I myself hope the GO will be fixed. I mean after almost a year 50% of the variation is spawning. Maybe after another year all the variations will be working and these fakes GOs will come to an end. 🤷 But id love a fix to keep my console from crashing every 10 real life minutes so I can continue to chase the GO. But guessing will have to wait for whatever the new content/dlc release to get a fix 🤷

[full cave]

https://youtu.be/a6EctWsePDk

What is up with this?

So non typs DO exist

Just not the way I had imagined

[full cave]

Yeah but they’re extremely rare, plus that’s only one of the racks for the great ones

Yeah

But still pretty cool

I'd hope to get the really thick rack go

[full cave]

Yeah same

[tepid drift]

I’m new to this type of grinding, can anyone share me a map or something of good white tail spots? My map seems to have no white tail at all, I did shoot a level four tho

[rigid forge]

level 4 was most likely a bugged great one

[random ridge]

Should I even start my great one grind or should I just wait tell there fixed

[hasty valley]

wait

but kill the small bucks for respawn

[random ridge]

Ight

[hasty valley]

thts what id do atleast

[random ridge]

My white tail seem bugged tho

They are never in there zones

[hasty valley]

rhight me too

[random ridge]

I just find them walking in circles

[hasty valley]

iv only had luvk consistantly between the layton lows and the lake district. just north of the bridge

[random ridge]

Ight imma check there when I’m back home

[pliant oak]

i covered them a lot recently in recent videos

most people start looking at the rivers edges and ponds at 12 - 3pm

its worth trying after that as well same locations

[full cave]

Yep what Ron said. Esp later as things are now. Also look way up into the forests. The icon maybe by the water but they can be 3-4 hundred meters in the deep forest. Yesterday I spotted a herd 396 meters away from water in the thick forest. I know it doeant make sense. That should actually be a feed zone considering theres no water in sight. Lol But thats just how it is these days unfortunately. Also hunt feed zones. Ive got more feed zones on the river in the wide open than I do drink zones. Totally backwards but again thats how they are right now 🤷

[sweet bough]

Did you see scarecrows overweight level 5?

[hidden trout]

Yup RIP

I felt so bad

[ripe parrot]

I like them 300 meters away from lakes and rivers cause stops the running and gunning plus there’s some times water in woods after a rain 🌧

[magic phoenix]

||what is wrong with you||

[hasty valley]

is blonde a rare for black bear or nah

[rugged roost]

No

Black bear has no rare fur types

[hasty valley]

ok is there a rare for black bear

ah

ok ty

[rugged roost]

Np

[iron valve]

[analog flower]

After reading about the wt here, I thought I'd go see them myself since I haven't been there for months. I might even have a GO in my map, who knows. And it went exactly as I've read. Started 12.30, waited 5 irl minutes to give animals time to go to zones. 2 in-game hours later I had seen 2 wt and they were travelling in the forest. Then saw one big herd when their drink zone ended and they ignored my calls completely and ran in the forest. Soo yea, not trying that again as a bow hunter 😄 I can see the frustration.

I will confidently say EW mixed all the elk, black tail, and whitetail. They used to have there respective ranges but noooo for some reasons someone decided to change it

Like I’ve seen elk by spawn, on Layton, which would never happen

[rustic ice]

how many species can get to level 10

ive only seen the whitetail great one on videos by flintier

[full cave]

Wrong chat

#🦌︴trophies

[rigid forge]

only the whitetail as of now

[vapid trout]

Got my 2nd Diamond today 🙂

[pliant oak]

im hoping the next great one we dont even know its out there until someone gets one

[full cave]

I think they mentioned somewhere that they won't mention anything about the next GO until they release it within a different major patch (such as Map Dlc, wep pack etc.)

[sage sparrow]

Yeah they just put great one added, not the species just ones been added

[restive cedar]

So another go will be added with the first one still having major issues? Cart before the horse

[sage sparrow]

We don't even know when there going to release the next one

[restive cedar]

Im just inquiring due to the above post of someone thinking there was a mention.

[full cave]

I doubt that we will see a GO for a long while, atleast not until they actually adress and fix WT GO and who knows how long that will take 🤷‍♂️

[celest ginkgo]

Bold of you to assume that they will actually fix something

[neon cedar]

Small dev team with an amplified amount of bugs and complaints. If GOs didn’t spawn the level 4s, it’d be good enough to hold onto but until they fix that, which is the same type of issue we had with mule deer when SRP was added.

I think they’re getting somewhere with the GO. It may not be as fast as other people want it to be but it’s progress and better than it just being pushed aside.

But knowing the WT species is the first ever, the test dummies for future GOs, just gonna let them do and collect as much data possible so our future GOs aren’t broken.

I know everyone just wants WT GO to be functional and not be stacked with various bugs

[ocean swift]

What is this? A rational person in the fabled ones chat? Couldn’t be

[restive cedar]

If we hit a full year on go release and they still don’t have it sorted then that just shows it’s not a priority. In the mean time they will push out paid content 10 fold.

[ocean swift]

That do be how companies make money

It’s not like they aren’t addressing GO problems. Unfortunately it seems like when they fix one a new one arises but that’s the development process. Stuff happens

[wise crane]

GOs have the potential to keep this game alive for a long time IMO, they have to be high priority at some point.

[chilly belfry]

So what happens if I spot a Level 4 WT? Do I leave it alone?

[magic phoenix]

Shoot it

Even if its broken just kill it, respawns

[analog flower]

Also heard if you restart the game and go back to it, it might turn back to GO. Not confirmed by any means but might be worth trying few times and see if it changes.

[chilly belfry]

👍

[ripe parrot]

I wish they keep adding new whitetail great ones like 20-30 different ones

[pliant oak]

im sure it will happen at some point whitetail are probably the most popular species so it makes sense

[orchid frigate]

I'm hoping they fix layton drink zones, all the deer except moose seem to be messed up in some way or form?

[magic phoenix]

Or they fix the great ines permanently

[neon cedar]

I mean GOs, literally it's only the level 4 issue we have now right? I wouldn't weigh that as something to discourage a GO grind.

[iron valve]

U have a 50 50 chance of ur great one spawning properly

[orchid frigate]

If they're drinking at all lol

[chilly belfry]

If anybody has gotten a GO, can they please share a rough estimate of total WT harvested and how many Diamond WT they have got since the GO was introduced? I’m trying to figure out an estimate and see if I’m close to having a chance. Thanks to anyone who can shed some light.

There’s no fixed amount to getting a great one. I know a guy who got one in under 100 harvests. For other people they’ve gotten 2000 harvests and don’t have one yet. Basically it’s randomized

[chilly belfry]

Ok, well I’m at roughly 1500, only shooting max weights and high TR level bucks 190+. 17 Diamonds, and no luck yet. I will continue the grind then.

[chilly belfry]

Thanks for the info.

[full cave]

No problem man, and good luck on the grind! 👍

[magic phoenix]

Shoot all bucks

Everyone you see

Give you a better chance

[chilly belfry]

Ok, so funny thing is I just spotted a Level 4 220lb Whitetail, TR 270-311. So this is bugged, what do I do. Will it ever change to a great one or am I screwed.

[sage sparrow]

More than likely screwed

[neon cedar]

I guess you can try the rumors but if it doesn't work just kill it lol

[chilly belfry]

Has anyone tried killing it but not picking it up to see if it comes back as a proper GO?

[bitter bluff]

[sage sparrow]

Wrong chat

[full cave]

Who wants to hunt it with md

[uneven otter]

I don’t think this is the right chat

[sweet sleet]

No GO's lately...

[full cave]

Ok here me out

Turkey great one

Turkeys will get more popularity

And there's something hard for them

A couple images for reference

[limber hare]

hear me out

jackalope

[full cave]

Even better

I feel like if they did animals like that

It would be cool

[limber hare]

yeah

[full cave]

And they would be level 10

And a cool great one kinda thing

But for now

We have to think about just regular animals

So I think turkey would be a cool one to do

[neon cedar]

Great one would really only fit antler/horned species, if we’re being honest. With how the devs made the weights for animals, it would only be fit for antler/horned species

[full cave]

I think it would work great with other animals. Like maybe an overly large bear with a battle scar. Just give certain animals unique features like that and it could work great.

[neon cedar]

Yeah but I’d name it something other than "Great One"

[full cave]

Why?

[neon cedar]

I mean GOs are just fabled animals, why call every single fabled animal a "GO".

I just feel like if it's a predator, should be called something else.

Are you gonna call a fabled rabbit a GO?

[tribal pawn]

if they make them ofc

[neon cedar]

Let's just remove fabled from the difficulty and rename it to 'Great One' at that rate.

[nova river]

But why?

Great one is the medal, and fabled is the difficultiy. You call diamonds diamonds and not idk medium or something.

[tribal pawn]

No more calling diamond rabbits diamonds or something

[full cave]

Red deer great one

[marsh sail]

yes

for sure

[magic phoenix]

No

wide elk great one

With 1km wide antlers

[minor gale]

^

[nova river]

No

tall elk great one

with 1 km tall antlers

[magic phoenix]

yes and no

But imagine antlers you can see from a km away

[nova river]

:D:D:D

[magic phoenix]

Make a special lodge to house the antlers

[sweet sleet]

nooo 1km tall, and 1km wide

[silk moon]

My own opinion but I think it would be cool if the great one kind of left clues it was on your map like you would find giant sheds, maybe certain fur caught on bushes and other things to leave clues. Once again my own opinion.

[ripe parrot]

Scrapes and rubs too great ones need to spawn more but be just harder to kill better AI but this will never happen

[rigid forge]

No. Antlers you can see from low earth orbit

[magic phoenix]

Yes

[late trail]

Yes

[pliant oak]

think we already have them in the uk they are so big now lol

[clear current]

Cornwalls seagulls look like there on steroids

[pliant oak]

😁

[keen pond]

Can you get a 4 esay whitetail now 🙋

[chilly vine]

Not that I know of it’s 123 and 10 for fabled
